The Sopranos - Series 1 - Complete (DVD 2001)

Not until the series reached it's 4th season, that I got hold of the Boxset (Season 1).

From the first few bars of music I was totally hooked.

The plot of the series is about a 'mob boss' Tony Soprano dealing with situations caused by his 'work' and how it impacts with his family. If you liked the Goodfellas am sure you will enjoy this Boxset.

Due to an inherited condition, the stress of his work and family cause him to have a minor breakdown and force him to go see a psychiatrist, through a series of flashbacks the characters unfold.

Very well written drama the characters are very believable, and they will remind you of some people known to you in real life.

The main plot of the series is how Tony Soprano deals with his uncle, Corrado (Junior) Soprano, who eventually becomes 'head of the family'.

Excellent sub plots which keep the program moving so when it finishes, you're gasping for more.

Acting is first class, along with the soundtrack it just keeps you glued to the screen.

If you are already familiar with the film, and are about to add it to your personal collection, consider buying the Complete Boxset Seasons 1 to 7

(Not sure if it is available at the time of writing) , it may be more cost effective.
